Please file a new bug report with a minimal example file if your problem is something else and if it is reproducible. I don't understand your reply. pdflatex doesn't process .eps according to documentation. What part of LyX automatically changes all .eps images into .png or .jpeg or .pdf so that when you have a lyx document which contains .eps images open, you can then click on View -pdflatex and this will work because LyX by default has previously converted those .eps files into jpeg, png, or pdf, so that such images are available for generating the pdf file by pdflatex? Pauls report: View -- PDF (pdflatex) I do not get the picture on the PDF document. My experience is that I can generate the a viewable .pdf file using dvipdfm but not pdflatex. http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2299 Regards, Stephen

LyX fails picture conversion
Dear All I have an EPS picture inserted in a LyX document. When I run View --> PDF (pdflatex) I do not get the picture on the PDF document. On the command line, it appears the following: $ /usr/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR Execution of "convert" failed. $ Any clue? Thanks in advance, Paul
